Product Details

This Cardone Vacuum Power Brake Booster line is engineered from original designs and updated where needed to improve durability while maintaining factory-style operation. Part number 54-72036 uses a dual diaphragm layout and M8 x 1.25 master cylinder stud thread size, making it a direct replacement choice for drivers servicing brake assist concerns on the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers DG9Z2005D and DG9Z2005L for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard brake pedal feel caused by weak vacuum assist
• Reduced braking response from a failing booster diaphragm
• Brake assist loss related to worn internal seals or check valves
• Fitment issues when replacing a booster on a 2013-2014 Ford Fusion or 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ without a master cylinder
• Corrosion-related service concerns on an aging brake booster assembly

Installation Notes

Compatible with 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, N/A, and 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ, N/A, for vehicles lacking master cylinders. Verify master cylinder neck seal condition and confirm stud thread size before installation. Follow the included instruction manual and inspect vacuum connections, pushrod alignment, and brake system operation after installation.
